Abstract:A well-known diffuse interface model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations nonlinearly coupled with a convective Cahn-Hilliard type equation. This system describes the evolution of an incompressible isothermal mixture of binary fluids and it has been investigated by many authors. Here we consider a variant of this model where the standard Cahn-Hilliard equation is replaced by its nonlocal version. More precisely, the gradient term in the free energy functional is replaced by a spatial convolution operator ac… Show more
“…We recall that the latter regularity is readily available for the Navier-Stokes equation (1.6) by the energy estimate performed earlier in Proposition 3.1 (cf. e.g., [8]) whereas in the case of the Euler equation (1.2) much less is true, see (3.1). On the other hand, our argument here makes also use of the vorticity equation (3.7), which exploited in unison with (3.8) can produce the required bounds in (3.13).…”

“…This system assumes the case of matched densities for the two fluids and constant mobility. On the other hand, the system comprising of (1.6), (1.1), (1.3), subject to homogeneous Neumann and no slip boundary conditions for µ and u, respectively, has been analyzed recently in [8,9,10,12,13,11] under various assumptions on F, J and on the mobility and viscosity coefficients, respectively. We also recall that the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system described earlier is a generalized version of the classical Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system when in the place of aϕ − J * ϕ one usually finds −∆ϕ, see [1,2,5,7,14,15,16,26,27,28] and references therein.…”
Abstract. We consider a diffuse interface model which describes the motion of an ideal incompressible mixture of two immiscible fluids with nonlocal interaction in two-dimensional bounded domains. This model consists of the Euler equation coupled with a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation. We establish the existence of globally defined weak solutions as well as well-posedness results for strong/classical solutions.

“…This theory has been widely studied from the physical, the mathematical and the computational points of view Jacqmin, 1999;Gal and Grasselli, 2010;Kay et al, 2008;Boyer et al, 2010;Gal and Grasselli, 2011;Lowengrub and Truskinovsky, 1998;Colli et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2004;Liu and Shen, 2003). To derive the theory, let us assume that we have two immiscible components with volume fractions ϕ 1 and ϕ 2 , respectively.…”
Phase-field modeling is emerging as a promising tool for the treatment of problems with interfaces. The classical description of interface problems requires the numerical solution of partial differential equations on moving domains in which the domain motions are also unknowns. The computational treatment of these problems requires moving meshes and is very difficult when the moving domains undergo topological changes. Phase-field modeling may be understood as a methodology to reformulate interface problems as equations posed on fixed domains. In some cases, the phase-field model may be shown to converge to the moving-boundary problem as a regularization parameter tends to zero, which shows the mathematical soundness of the approach. However, this is only part of the story because phase-field models do not need to have a moving-boundary problem associated and can be rigorously derived from classical thermomechanics. In this context, the distinguishing feature is that constitutive models depend on the variational derivative of the free energy. In all, phase-field models open the opportunity for the efficient treatment of outstanding problems in computational mechanics, such as, the interaction of a large number of cracks in three dimensions, cavitation, film and nucleate boiling, tumor growth or fully three-dimensional air-water flows with surface tension. In addition, phase-field models bring a new set of challenges for numerical discretization that will excite the computational mechanics community.
The evolution of a mixture of two incompressible and (partially) immiscible fluids is here described by Ladyzhenskaya–Navier–Stokes type equations for the (average) fluid velocity coupled with a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation with a singular (e.g., logarithmic) potential. The former is endowed with no-slip boundary conditions, while the latter is subject to no-flux boundary conditions so that the total mass is conserved. Here we first prove the existence of a weak solution in three-dimensions and some regularity properties. Then we establish the existence of a weak trajectory attractor for a sufficiently general time-dependent external force. Finally, taking advantage of the validity of the energy identity, we show that the trajectory attractor actually attracts with respect to the strong topology
